PSU was my safety fwiw

I didnt say I think you are an idiot. I do however think you need to experience life after the bubble of undergrad before you take a seat at the adult table to discuss politics. I also had really strong political views during undergrad and they have since shifted a bit because I didnt know anything at the time. I thought I knew everything. I have cousins who are early 20s in graduate school. They know a lot about their field of study. When it comes to politics they dont know anything. Their opinion may be right but its baseless because they have limited life experience. Same shit though, they know a lot in their field of study and believe as a result they know everything, they dont.

Your arguments are bad, baseless, and full of confirmation bias. Also to me not worth humoring or debating.

We can talk politics in a few years after you pay bills, taxes, put in the 40 hour work weeks in your field, and experience more life. Till then we can talk Redskins football, 6ers basketball, or really anything outside of politics. For now your political opinions and social stances are taken with a heavy grain of salt.

Oh yes very impressive mr internet smart guy. We are all in awe. I wouldn't pick any other school over PSU. Your loss, I guess.

Why would experiencing life automatically change my mind. Political depend on being informed. If your informed you can be any age and have an educated conversation on the issues. The content of your argument is what matters.

The idea that significant life experiences are required is moronic. If thats the case how would you know your views are even right? Somebody else has different experiences and has come to different conclusions as a result. How are you going to decide whos right? You both havelife experience. Alternatively somebody may have the same life experiences but different views. There are millions of hard working democrats in this country. Its not republicans = experiences hard workers and democrats = lazy and inexperienced. If thats what you think you are mind bogglingly dumb or naive.

You keep acting like youre too good to discuss issues with me yet you keep making insults and assumptions towards me. And you keep being wrong. You assumed I supported several things that i didnt. When are you gonna admit you assumed a shit ton and put your foot in your mouth?

You're just throwing out claims based on nothing then running away when called out.

End of the day i think you know youre full of shit you're just too scared to keep talking and make it even more obvious than it already is.

Fox News. Fair and balanced

Wait wait wait. Are you... are you saying fox news isnt right wing???

How can the word PROGRESS be way over used?? The point is to move forward and KEEP moving forward. UNless one thinks we have reached the highest we can as a society, one should always be hoping for progress. And yes Progress does likely mean moving away from some of the norms in this country. The only reason to be against progress is if you feel that it will some how hurt or hinder you or your progeny.

Now I get that some people seem to think the country is getting worse. And Im fine with that. The problem is, they always seem to want to blame the getting worse on Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Gays, Transgenders or feminists. So yea, when people tend to think these groups are what ruined the country, and the same group generally thinks America would be a much greater place if we just got rid of or could control THOSE groups... yea I tend to think they are bit racist, bigoted, and generally regressive.

Because “progress” is subjective.

Sometimes what we call progress is a regression.

Actually, most don’t blame it on those groups. If we break it down, all groups are recessing, in many areas. I blame liberalism for the decay of America.

I will say it. I will say it is by far the most balanced.

OH this I need clarification on. Which groups are regressing, how.

And who comprises these Liberals you speak of??

Even Fox News doesnt think they are fair and balanced...

Fox News Is Dropping Its ‘Fair & Balanced’ Slogan

IM just saying.

Not at all. Where did you get that idea?

You seemed to have an issue with me calling foxnews right wing though.

Uhhhh. Alright then.

Fwiw i wouldn't get my news from cnn, msnbc, or fox but i dont know how anybody could take fox seriously.

I do really like Jake tapper from CNN though.

Fox News often gives the other side of the story. When I’m in a good mood and having fun I like to tune in to MSNBC and have a good laugh at all the whining and fake news I hear

They're both trash dude. The only difference between them is one happens to align with your views.

George Soros, the boogey man

Did George Soros make his money betraying Jews? « H4CBlog

George Soros - Left Exposed

George Soros is a piece of shit that needs to die.

I'll get to your other posts in bit but what the actual hell is that first site?

And the second one is literally named "the left exposed". Yea im sure theyre real interested in being objective and fair. Despite that, their article seems to sumup to... Soros is super rich and gives a lot of money to liberal causes.

Which is exactly what i said. he's a super rich dude whos a liberal. That's it. He's not some evil genius taking over our country.

OH this I need clarification on. Which groups are regressing, how.

And who comprises these Liberals you speak of??

As I said, all groups are regressing in certain areas. As you know, I am a big proponent of the correlation between single parent households, poverty, and crime. All groups are having more children out of wedlock than 50 years ago.

Liberals are comprised of all races, genders, religions, etc. The biggest problem in this group are white liberals. They fail to think critically and jump on bandwagons, usually leading the militant fights when the special interest they claim to be defending don’t really give a shit, to an extent.

Just because they change the slogan doesn’t make it less true.

First one is simply a blog but quotes an interview with Soros by a 60 minutes interviewer asking Soros if he has any guilt about working with the Nazis.

Again, you don’t like the source because it is likely biased but does it make the information untrue? Soros has given hundreds of millions of dollars to liberal organizations for the purposes listed. Soros did make a fortune in foreign currency manipulation. While certain conclusions dripped of bias, there is very valid information such as a conviction of insider trading.

Look deeper and see the relationship that started him on open borders. He really is the boogeyman.

So wait we were better of as a country, as a society 50 years ago?? IN the 60's?? I agree that one group was better of in the 60's.... Kinda sucks that we moved past that wonderful period in time huh?

And white Liberals are the cause of all the militant and combative conflict this country has seen over those 50 years? I guess if all those lefties would have just sit down, shut up and let more rational people run things.. why I might have even moved to the middle of the bus if I was a good boy.

all i am going to say is this about the news networks . if you think MSNBC , CNN , CBS , ABC, NBC NPR , HLN and CNBC are fair or even give you 2 sides near equal i challenge you to do this

take anywhere from 1 hr to half a day . mark down how many negative donald trump stories are run as opposed to praise . mark down how many positive conservatives stories are brought forth as opposed to negative ones .

if you are open minded and fair you will clearly get the answer

do the same for fox but in the opposite way and remember fox is one conservative news outlet compared to 8 liberal ones the blaze is 2 and if you want to do that with them if you get that station be my guest

The News has never been about fair and impartial reporting in any of our life times.

now my comment on life experience , life experience in a field is invaluable , you can be book smart and that also helps but only people without life experience will tell you it isnt needed

from my LIFE experience i can tell you that if i knew then what i know now through life experience , i would absolutely dominate

i am sorry but a college professor telling me what its like to live in saudi arabia through a book or film or by a computer does little to prepare you for it and a guy , say like myself who has lived there 5 years has vastly more knowledge about that society
